362 Night Banquet
Luo Qunhang's eyes were slightly cold, and the smile at the corners of his mouth disappeared. He wanted to grab Xintian and ask if the two did not quarrel that day, would she and Pan Lang be like this? However, after all, he didn't do that. He smiled elegantly and continued to play chess with George.
When George saw the two people coming in, he stopped and asked Xintian to go to the kitchen to see the prepared food. He went to talk to Pan Lang and said, "What do you think is the most important thing for a man and a woman to be with?"
Pan Lang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Of course it's a true heart."
George shook his head and whispered, "Of course it's not just that. I'll tell you a story at the dinner table later. You have to listen carefully."
Pan Lang paused for a moment, but he felt that the old man was unusually concerned about Xintian, so he respected him very much. Even if his words were a little strange, his eyes were harsh and picky, and his tone was condescending and domineering. He also smiled and nodded with tolerance.
George looked at him like this and nodded secretly, as if he could see why Tina was particularly relaxed with him.
——————————————————————————
A plate of steaming dumplings was served, and there were sixteen small dishes on the table. It looked simple, but in fact, the selection of materials was particularly exquisite.
A large group of people sat around the dining table. Xinkang, Luo Minxiang and others all came to the table. Fu Sinian called and said that they could not come for the time being, which made everyone feel a little sorry. Luo Minxiang also brought a man who looked a little similar to him. When Luo Qunhang saw the man, his eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, but said nothing more.
The table was shrouded in the steaming heat from the dumplings, as if covering up the contradictions that had happened among these people.
Amending everyone, George is the oldest. He looked at the crowd, picked up a glass of wine and said, "I'm the oldest here today. Without further ado, just take the lead and drink a glass of reunion wine together first."
After he finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass and almost coughed. Xintian's mother sat next to Xintian, staring at George closely. She seemed to be worried about him, and her body trembled slightly with excitement.
After drinking, George continued, "Before dinner, I said I would tell a story at the dinner table and let Pan Lang listen carefully. In fact, I hope that this story, not only Pan Lang, Xin Tian, Xin Kang, but also everyone here, can listen carefully, because this is a true story.
Everyone was silent for a moment. George, a legend who returned from the United States, hit the world with his bare hands there. Who is the story he wants to tell so seriously? Is it his own?
After drinking, George didn't look at everyone. His eyes seemed to look at the snowflakes floating outside the window and whispered, "A decade ago, there was a happy and ordinary family in B City. My husband is the leader of a construction supervision and construction company. He is conscientious, responsible, young and promising, and promising. My wife is a middle school teacher. She is beautiful and kind. They love each other very much and have a pair of children, smart and cute. The family loves each other, which makes people around them envious.
Everyone listened quietly, because there was a memory of that kind of happiness on George's face.
When Xin Kang heard George's story, his body trembled and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his arm was pressed tightly. He turned his head and looked, and his mother's eyes were full of tears and asked him not to move. There was a vague thought in his mind, like being struck by lightning. He stared at George with complicated eyes.
George didn't seem to notice this, and it seemed that it was more important for him to tell stories first. He continued: "But the good times didn't last long. Because his husband refused to accept bribes from a company, he carefully inspected them, offended the company, and offended the immediate boss who was originally had a good relationship and always came to play at home. His authority was constantly reduced, and he could only be responsible for a small part of the inspection on the construction site. Seeing that there were serious quality problems in the project, he complained to his superiors. As a result, not only was the matter not solved, but he was retaliated by the company, and his colleagues also began to exclude him.
Everyone was shocked, and George's voice was very calm, so no one could tell whose story he was telling.
He looked out of the window and continued, "Fortunately, this project will be completed soon, and he can forget about it. But who knows, the newly built building suffered a slight earthquake on the opening day, collapsed, and hundreds of lives were buried in it, while the building that was built much earlier than it was only slightly damaged in appearance.
When Xiaoxing heard this, there were tears in his eyes, and the collapse of the building also took away her parents.
Luo Qunhang was shocked and looked at George in disbelief. He also had something to do with the collapse of Jiawei Building, so who was he?
Luo Minxiang lowered his head in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.
George continued: "He thought that in such a big accident, those bad people would definitely be punished, and his grievances in those years could be washed away. Unexpectedly, the collapse of this building brought him a greater disaster, causing his family to die, and his wife and children to be separated. The company and his boss were close to each other, and everything was pushed on him and several other people in charge. The evidence was conclusive and unable to justify it. Fortunately, he got news from kind-hearted people in advance and absconded overnight. The rest of the people were arrested and sentenced to prison, and the lightest was more than ten years.
George thought about it and continued, "Before he fled, he gave his two children to his wife and swore to his wife that he would come back to clear his grievances anyway. At that time, he was as naive as the characters in the novel, thinking that he could come back to revenge and kill all the bad guys like the Count of Monte Cristo. He took all his savings from home and smuggled them to the United States. It was just that when he was about to go to the United States, in order to avoid the coast guard, the boat capped. He floated on the sea for three days and nights. When he was washed to the shore, the skin on his face was soaked and rotten. Fortunately, he was saved by a kind-hearted person and operated on him, but when he woke up, he was completely changed. He was not the original person at all.
Xintian's mother couldn't help crying.
George's chest heaved violently, and he paused in order to allow himself to continue. Hold the medicine bottle in front of your chest tightly with both hands so that you can take the medicine in time when necessary.
He paused for a moment and no one spoke. He continued: "He is penniless and poor in the United States, worse than the poorest beggars in the slums. Every day, he thinks of revenge and is about going crazy, but there is nothing he can do, and he can't even fill his stomach. Fortunately, I met a female volunteer in the slums. I kindly helped him, helped him clean up, and introduced him to a financial tycoon's home as a gardener. Later, the financial giant became familiar with him. When he heard his story, he taught him the ability to invest in financial investment and gave him a money for initial investment to help him.
George thought about the past, with a wry smile on the corners of his mouth, and continued: "He finally made some achievements in his career, so he wanted to go back to China to find his wife and children first. Unexpectedly, when I returned to my original residence, there had been a great change. The old neighbor said that after the man of the family escaped, the woman and the child were bullied every day. Later, there was a natural gas explosion, and the whole family was killed.
George seemed to choke. There were tears in Xin Kang's eyes, and he only felt his heart beating fiercely as if he were about to jump out of his chest. Tina's tears were like the river that broke the dike. She only felt a heartache in her heart. It was getting more and more painful, and the pain was almost unbearable. Pan Lang held her hand quietly, but found that her eyes were a little strange. He clenched her hand even more worriedly.
George continued: "The man thought that his wife and children were dead and were in pain, but his enemies were getting happier and happier, the business was getting richer and richer, and the official career was soaring. He ran back to the United States and almost collapsed. Fortunately, the female volunteer had been taking care of him, and then they got married.
After he finished speaking, he took a look at Xin Tian's mother. She was already sobbing, but she still tried to listen to him with a smile. Although she was no longer young and beautiful, she was as kind and firm as in the night when he fled more than a decade ago.
He took a breath and continued: "In order to quickly accumulate wealth, he also began to seize wealth in the United States, and his career is getting bigger and bigger. When he returned to China again, he suffered from an old heart disease, which was caused by his excitement every time he thought about things at home. Because he fell ill at the airport and met a young and talented traditional Chinese medicine doctor, the two were very close. Later, they accidentally found that he was the same as his enemy. The two began to become good friends and planned revenge together.
He paused and whispered, "There was another discovery when he returned to China. It turned out that his family was not dead, just to avoid the enemy and lived in other cities. At this time, he can't recognize them immediately. He just wants to apologize to them after revenge, so he entrusts them to the doctor to take care of them so that he can rest assured.
He paused and then said, "He and the young doctor took a lot of means and effort to get revenge. However, the doctor gave up and continued to take revenge because a woman was involved with him. He was the only one who was still struggling, but he was about to succeed in revenge.
When he said this, he seemed to have completely calmed down and whispered, "Do you understand the story I'm telling?"
Everyone looked at him and was silent for a moment. Xinkang burst into tears. He and Xiaoxing's hand he had been holding didn't know when and who had let go.
Xintian's face was full of sadness, which made Pan Lang feel uncontrollable and painful. He tried to comfort her, but he found that she flashed gently, and there seemed to be a trace of strangeness between his eyebrows.
George finished this and looked at the crowd and whispered, "Do you understand the story I told? Do you believe it or not? If you don't believe it, I can tell us that I didn't lie to you, because I am the man who was killed. Yangwei Group is the construction company that bullies people's lives. The senior official who was arrested a few days ago was my immediate superior. He has been killed by my revenge plan, and now it's Yangwei Group's turn. I will take revenge on them for my pain.
